Good question.
Yes it is an intergral part to daily ops. Thousands of employees drive past it as it sits in the parking lot at the company HDQ in Atlanta. In the summer months, some even depend on it to shade their car from the hot sun.

What a pity.

You are showing new hires in nearly every pilot base. I haven’t verified with an actual source, but my understanding is that a new hire hasn’t been assigned to any base other than New York for quite a while. At least for longer than the 6 month ATL737B position you are counting.

By “new hire,” I assume you are meaning initial category awarded in indoc class.

NHs are currently only going to NYC 717, 220, & 737. Some of the other bases can be had fairly quickly but that all depends on how frequent the company posts vacancies...which isn’t that frequent right now.

Allegedly, hiring is about to ramp up again and there’s talk ATLM88 may make a come back in the NH class drop...albeit temporarily.

If CR posts an AE in Sept/Oct as mentioned in their August newsletter, I can (okay...almost) guarantee there will be unfilled M88 positions after that AE. CR xcld the seat freeze on the new hires when they xcld their displacements which means those FOs are now free to head to whatever airplane their seniority can hold on the next AE thereby leaving unfilled M88 vacancies to be filled by new hires. And that cancellation also left vacancies in the categories they had MD'd/VD'd to so those should be on the table as well.

I really do not understand what the thought process was to xcl the 60(?) awarded M88 FO displacements in order to staff for summer of 2020. The timeline made no sense with their previously stated intent to post an AE in the last quarter of 2019 to meet summer 2020 requirements. (270 day conversion window means the back end have to be converted by May-Jul depending on the AE closing). Left me more confused than an Amish electrician. Giterdunnnnn 😁

In his latest video on SkyNet, BS stated that the block hours they needed to cover on the 88 are in the Feb-July timeframe, so they can push any conversions from a September AE out far enough to largely cover that shortage.

Thanks for the update.

Yup....that would make more sense. Of course, that does not parallel what was initially published when they announced the cancellation of the displacements. Maybe CR got marketing to change their plan for once rather than the other way around. 🤔😂
